The Flagship Service

Two pages that change
how you perform online.

A free, fully personalized digital health report for your business. No templates, no generic advice. We research your specific business and tell you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.

What you receive

Everything you need to act. Nothing you do not.

The Growth Audit is two pages. It covers the four dimensions that drive local business discovery: how fast you respond to leads, what your online reputation says to a stranger, how you show up in local search, and what happens to prospects who go quiet after first contact.

Each dimension gets a rating: Strong, Needs Work, or Critical. Not a vague score out of ten. A clear designation with a specific explanation of why.

The audit closes with your top three priority moves, ranked by impact, and a phased 90-day roadmap. Most clients read it and immediately know what to do. For those who want help executing, that is where we come in.

01

Four scored dimensions

Speed to Lead, Reviews & Reputation, Local Visibility, and Follow-Up & Nurture. Each one scored with a clear rating and specific supporting evidence from your business.

02

Written synthesis

A paragraph that describes what your digital presence says to a potential customer who finds you online today. Honest, specific, and useful.

03

Top three priority moves

Not a list of everything. The three highest-leverage actions you can take right now, ranked by impact. Specific to your business, not pulled from a template.

04

90-day roadmap

A phased action plan for months one, two, and three. Tactical and specific enough to execute on your own, or hand to us to manage.

The four dimensions

What we actually look at.

Every audit covers four dimensions. These are the four areas that consistently determine whether a local business wins or loses a lead, regardless of industry.

Speed to Lead

How fast does your business respond to a new inquiry? We test this. The gap between where most businesses are and where they need to be is the single largest source of lost revenue we find.

Reviews & Reputation

Volume, recency, rating, and how you respond. We look at what a prospect sees when they read your reviews and whether your reputation is helping or hurting you.

Local Visibility

Google Business Profile completeness, local pack ranking, citation consistency, and whether your business shows up when someone searches for what you do near you.

Follow-Up & Nurture

What happens to a prospect who goes quiet after first contact? We look at whether you have any system for keeping warm leads engaged and bringing cold ones back.

Common Questions

Answers before you ask.

What does the Growth Audit cost?
Nothing. The Growth Audit is free. It has always been free and will remain free. We offer it because we believe in earning business by demonstrating value first, not by pitching before we have proven anything.
Do I need to be a client to request an audit?
No. You do not have to commit to anything or even take a call. Fill out the form, we research your business, and we deliver the report. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
How long does it take?
We deliver within 48 hours of receiving your request. In practice, most audits go out within 24 hours. You will receive an email when yours is ready.
What kind of businesses do you audit?
Any local business with a Google presence and a customer base that searches online. Landscapers, restaurants, gyms, home service contractors, retail shops, health and beauty businesses, and more. If local customers find you online, the audit applies.
What if I just want to talk first?
Use the contact page to send us a message or call directly. You do not have to request an audit to start a conversation. We are based in Duluth and happy to talk through what you are dealing with before you commit to anything.
What happens after I receive the audit?
We follow up within one business day to see if you have questions. If you want to discuss the findings or talk about working together, we set up a call. If you are happy to take it and run with it yourself, that is completely fine too.
